Every time I think I'm done tweaking our dining plan (which I have spreadsheeted b/c I'm THAT anal! 
), I wind up seeing a great review or something and make another change. Now that our plans are pretty well set (worst case scenario we've got the regular DP @ Pop) and reservations are made, I'm hoping I can finally walk away from this DP stuff. Do you, the seasoned experts, think I've got good picks and made good use of the DP? Have I stretched too far on the CS shares?
For the breakfasts, I'm fully prepared to supplement with fresh fruit, nuts, and a grain from our room where necessary (that's my typical breakfast anyway). Hubby and daughter will predominantly be using the DP for breakfasts. Also worth noting that we've never been to ANY of the restaurants in our itinerary.
We have 8 kids' CS credits (KCS), 8 kids' TS credits (KTS), 16 adult CS credits (ACS), 16 adult TS credits (ATS), and 24 snack credits.

17 SC to use how ever we want at the parks and/or for souvenir type snacks.
Total OOP w/ tips: $394 (more than I would like but this is our "last hoorah" trip and we are overall paying no more than $3K for the entire trip so I guess it's not too bad from that perspective)
TIA!
